SEC only playoff

Screw the rest of the conferences. They did this to themselves by created an alliance on all major decisions in response to Texas and Oklahoma wanting to join the SEC. If they want to play hard ball then the SEC can do that too. The SEC doesn’t need the rest of the conferences to survive so that alliance better be careful what they wish for.

TV networks need eyeballs watching in more than one time zone to survive.

You don’t think the SEC could add more of the elite programs across the country and create a super league? Teams will be lining up just like Texas and Oklahoma. Imagine the SEC becoming like the NFL. There could be a draft of incoming freshman and they could make it a nationally televised event. They would be able to offer actual contracts to players because they wouldn’t be bound by NCAA rules. Every player could sign 4 year contracts with an opt out after 3 years for the NFL Draft or a 5th year player option so you leave open the medical redshirt. The possibilities are endless and the TV networks would be fighting tooth and nail for rights.

Do I think the SEC could lure elite brands/programs like Ohio State, Michigan, Southern Cal or Notre Dame?

No, I don’t.

Agree...... FOX alone might as well be referred to as the Ohio State network just as NBC is the Notre Dame network. BIG10 alone is the highest revenue maker among all conferences.

Exactly, if schools are “forced” to pay players as another poster suggested, the Big 10 anchor programs and Notre Dame will be just fine. They’re swimming in cash.

Very well then…when The Constitution forces schools to pay players as you suggest, I’m of the opinion that schools like Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Penn State and to a lesser degree USC can survive financially without joining the SEC. 😂

Has nothing to do with me. It’s a Supreme Court opinion. Read Kavanugh’s opinion
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/20-512_gfbh.pdf

Universities/conferences/ncaa all know this. Anyone who doesn’t recognize it when watching what is happening isn’t seeing the whole picture.

Dennis Dodd wrote a recent column on it. AD’s all know it With the NCAA backed into a corner, the age of paying college athletes is officially upon us

You just listed 6 teams who even collectively cannot challenge what the SEC’s power will be in the new landscape.

My opinion is unchanged.

No, the opinion that schools paying players directly will result in the SEC luring in Big 10 powers and other majors programs like Notre Dame and USC.

Oh, well maybe not. But the money will be alluring which those schools could use to force the B1G to adjust their revenue sharing to their benefit
